HOME. There’s weight in that word, isn’t there? How about DISCOUNT. Is there weight in that word? Thought so. Right now I’m reading Julie Andrews’ memoir of her earlier years, called Home. Have you read it? It is beyond fascinating! And I’m not even to the MARY POPPINS PART YET. I’ve always been drawn to […]
Um, enter at your own delicious, delicious risk. BECAUSE THIS IS ILLEGALLY GOOD. It’s one of those recipes with that total booming umami combo, ya know. Bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, REAL BUTTER (not the fake alien stuff in the tub. go real. always real.), shrimp, fresh lemon, cheddar cheese and the curliest pasta ya ever did […]
FlooooooooooooRIDAY. We finished Younger last night! (!!) And by we I mean my bestie that binges all these shows with me. We always finish out each series together, with a bottle of rosé and a block of cheese, while watching the rest remotely. GET IT? REMOTE? LIKE THE TV REMO- you did. Okay. Also, by […]
OKAY. I’m about to change your mind on eggplant. Because I know approximately 84% of you just read “eggplant” and knee-jerk threw your laptop into a goldfish pond. I know. But this is the thing (!) – we were at the Farmer’s Market a few weekends back, and you know how you always see those […]
I’m BACK, DID YOU MISS ME? (don’t answer that.) Because I missed you. I did! No, I did! When you’re out of your regular work slash community rhythm, it totally does a number on your work slash community . . . rhythm. Never mind. I HAVE PASTA FOR YOU. And the fabulous thing about this […]
Frah rah rah rah Freh reh reh reh Frih rih rih rih day. GUESS WHAT. (I’m just jumping in.) YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS. (promise I’ll simmer down.) IT HAPPENED. (you’re like, I’m already over this.) I GOT THE OFFICIAL LETTER IN THE MAIL. (you’re like, good for you, you renewed your This […]
Or in other words, my birth decade! Birth decade? The decade I was born. 1976. In August. This month. Never mind. It’s my birthday month! WHO HERE . . . (I sound like Tig Notaro. “WHO HERE . . . actually believes . . . that the Indigo Girls are here?”) starts getting the tiniest […]
YES IT’S MORE PIZZA. You’re not . . . mad, are you? So guess what. I hate black licorice. (liquorice. lickurish? just kidding.) HATE IT. Heeeeeeeet.eeeeeeet. I’m pretty positive this is the food that Satan munches on for his afternoon snack. Well, that and murders’ souls. ANYWAY. Can’t stand black licorice. Bleck! Bleck! Bleck! H […]

Um, hello yes, goodbye forever. CROSTINI. Talk about some major summer noshies, guys. It’s that kind of snack that’s like, obnoxiously balanced. And EASY. Ugh, so easy. You have crusty, garlicky baguette slices, more sautéed garlic, perfectly-seared zucchini rounds, topped with cheese shavings. But not just any ol’ cheese shavings. These have Roth’s insanely delicious […]
